I'm currently taking Cheston Cold and noticing it's working, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. Should I be taking it two or three times a day?

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning. To address this issue, I recommend the following steps: Diagnostic Tests 1. Urine Test: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 2. Urethral Swab: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge. STD Testing Centers in Pune Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested: 1. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI): A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV. - Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026 - Phone: 020-27121024 2. Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic: Offers free STD testing and treatment. - Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005 - Phone: 020-25501000 3. Private Labs: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare. - These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections. Pre-Test Preparation Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to: 1. Abstain from urination: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results. 2. Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results. Post-Test Care After the test, your cousin should: 1. Follow the doctor's advice: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments. 2. Practice good hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

Question

I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.
